Although initiated by the US Dept. of Defense for purposes of analysis and policy-making, this study of the Soviet Union's Islamic strategy is remarkably forthright and unbiased. It accepts as given the maintenance needs of any regime, and examines the origins, evolution and current operation of Soviet tactics for enhancing influence and prestige in the Muslim World. The specific focus is on the way in which the Soviet Islamic establishment is used to develop and maintain links with Muslim elites in the conservative Islamic states. Annotated, with appendices. Acidic paper. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

There are many books on individual countries of the Horn, but this one is unique in treating the region as a whole, stressing interactions among as well as within Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia and, in turn, their relations with neighbouring regions of Africa and the Middle East. The author summarizes the history of the region from earliest times to the 19th century and then concentrates on Russian and American involvements.

Ethiopia has always held a special fascination for travelers  going back to antiquity, but until the early part of the twen- tieth century, much of the country was inaccessible to all but the hardiest adventurers. In this exciting book, Paul Henze evokes the last years of what some might call a golden age, the decade before the turmoil that engulfed Ethiopia in 1974. Henze provides a mosaic of Ethiopia's culture as he examines its peoples, languages, and religions. Out of print for almost twenty-five years, this volume documents a period of Ethiopian history that was highly distorted by the communist regime of the 1970s and 1980s. This second edition has a new introduction and includes new images reflecting on Ethiopia's recent past and capturing the traditions and peoples of this ancient land. Paul B. Henze has traveled extensively throughout Ethiopia and has written hundreds of articles and several books on Ethiopian history, politics, and culture. A veteran member of the U.S. Foreign Service, he was first secretary of the U.S. Embassy in Ethiopia during the period covered by this book. Henze is a life member of the Institute of Ethiopian Studies and during his frequent visits to Ethiopia he continues his research.
